Hello New Chapter of My Life.

Oh hello blog! FINALLY got the time to FINALLY BLOG. So many things have happened and i dont even know where to start. For a first i am now OFFICIALLY EMPLOYED!:) Yes yes i am now officially a CABIN CREW at CEBU PACIFIC, oh yeah! But im getting ahead of my story so here.

I started training last March 28. It was really hard at first cause i got really overwhelmed with the BIG manuals i have to study. I almost gave up really, cried cause i dont know how to start or even how to handle things. It was really hard, i felt so alone. LONER much! I didn't really have that friend in training that i could talk to or that someone whom i could hang out with. Then im not really good in putting on make ups for i dont really put on make up. My supervisor always makes pansin my make up! haha makes pansin!:p But as time passed by it came to me that i could really do it. I started excelling in class and finally got to get used in putting make up and being good at it.Oh yeah! Our training had its ups and downs. Ups: i got to meet new friends (ones that i really got to bond with), experience such as sliding down from the plane, opening and closing doors, crawling along the aisle of the plane, shout out "EMERGENCY BEND DOWN" loud and clear while doing the emergency procedures and having lots of gazillion of other experiences funny and memorable with my co-trainees. Downs: memorizing the BIG manuals from cover to cover, verbatim/word for word, having to go home early in the morning because we had to practice in the aircraft and at times me and my boyfriend even fought about me pursuing this job, but thats a different story. Overall, i think all of the hardwork paid off! I got to do my job and enjoy it plus im excited for my pay day cause this job really pays really really GOOOD! ;) My first flight with a supervisor was last May 15 and 17, i even cried after my first flight on my frist day for i thought i was going to fail my graded flight, but i cried even more when i found out that my supervisors were impressed on the way i worked. I was so relieved when i heard this and i was so happy because i really though i was going to fail. They said i did a good job and its that its as if i was flying for a a long time. oh yeah! That's what they call FLYING WITH FLYING COLORS! hahaha So there last May 20 i graduated as a CABIN CREW at CEBU PACIFIC. After a day off, sunday to wednesday was scheduled for another training for ATR and by May 26, i was employed.

May 26 i was suppose to be a HR or Home Reserve wherein anytime you can be upgraded to a flight or to be and FR or Field Reserve. And yes last May 26, i got upgraded to a 4am flight! Hello work! haha My first productive flight, meaning my first paid flight was to Davao and Iloilo and i was so blessed to be given very nice flying partners from my Co-CC and Pilots. I finished around 12noon and got my commission from the on board sales too. haha Loves flying cause we're paid to fly plus my commission pa kmi everytime we sell something on board!:) oooohhh i sooo cant wait for my pay day! Siguro ung mga first 3 months pay ko madidissolve! hahaha Yesterday din HR ako and i was enjoying watching THE INCREDIBLES on STAR MOVIES when i got a call that im upgraded to FR! oh hello responsibility na tlga!!:) So there, i stayed in the office from 11am to 7pm doing nothing but i was happy cause i really didn't want to be upgraded for a flight. I got to spend time with my batchmates for we were both FR's! And today, im a HR thats why im here doing nothing and panics every time my phone rings cause i dont wanna be upgraded! haha

For my lovelife: Its a so-so for us. Ever since i got to start my training we spend time together as much as we can. Have a movie out or grab something to eat at times, that's why im pretty much updated with all the current movies lately. Of course, we also got into some really big fights. One of it was with the issue of me pursuing this job. Fyi, after 6 months of being a probationary Cabin Crew, i'll be regularized and theeen i can be based in CEBU for a minimum of 6 months.:( That's what we fought about. He really didn't want me to go, i think we almost break up talking about itcause having that possibility of me being away scares him a lot. Of course i also don't want to be away from him but its just a possibility that i might be based there. And this possibility, he doesnt want to face. After some talks, i finally convinced him to let me through the job for i really want this and somehow its been like a dream for me. So there he's been really supportive lately but somehow it cares me a lot when the time comes when i'll be off to be based in Cebu. Im not saying i will be but there's a chance. On the other hand, he's officially unemployed he got hired last friday and he'll be starting training tommorow! im soo proud of him!:) He's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and finally he got it! Hopefully work doesn't come between us cause i'm sure we'll be both busy in our careers. Of course, if there's a will there's a way. I sooo believe in that.

Ohh one more thing, my car got smashed!:( It was during the holy week that i was spending time with my family and babe in the province that our driver with all his angst smashed my car into a barricade. The front was a total wreck and it cant be driven anymore. So there, up until know i cant talk to him the way i used to because of what happened. The car is still in total wreck for we're waiting for the insurance response. I hope they replace it with a new one, i really hope so.

Well there goes, soo busybusy.. I miss hanging out with my friends and family. I've missed a lot of events already. 2 weddings form both side of the family this May, I'm suppose to be one of the bridesmaid and i ended up not attending. They're all completed and im the only one whose missing. sad.:(

Hopefully soon i can get to spend time with family and friends when i start to get use to going around my schedule. Oh well hello new chapter of my life! Hello responsibility! At least pay day will make me feel better! i wanna buy a new bag (longchamp?) waaaant!! new shirts!!! and i also want a new BLACKBERRY BOLD phone!! oh myyyy!! Can't wait!! haha

I Got Nudged!

Oh hello march! its been a while since i last blogged. And i got nudged by a friend who missed my blogs thats why here i am, blogging. i've been actually planning to blog for a while now but i always seem to forget. I 've actually miss blogging. Anyways, back to the real deal. Somehow February has been a stress month for me somehow from responsibilities to job related stuff. Good news is, i got cleared on my medical at Cebu Pac. The doctor told me to get a treadmill stress exam, after which i passed the results to the doctor at Cebu Pac. He said that he'll clear me but then i have to be extra careful with my back. Hooray i passed! i'll be off to training now, but unfortunately because i passed late my training date got moved. Up until now im still waiting for that one call telling me when my training would be, a friend of mine told me that there's stil no definite date yet for there are still ongoing training. Anyways i cant wait to start and be a FA! i hope ill have fun doing so!:)

On the other hand, of course training would be really hard. Training would be Mondays to Saturdays from 8am-5pm, maximum of 2 absences and 2 lates. Therefore, meaning that if ever i would be starting training i wont be able to absent!! errr whyyyy? ngaung summer pa?..:( My summer actually is somehow booked for parties and vacation trips. For one, my family is planning on going to BOHOL! i have'nt been there!! I told mom that maybe we can move the date for Bohol but dad said, "Hindii ganyan tlga, pag may trabaho. Kasama na un minsan may mga mamimiss kang events." and i was like :| nooo!:( My cousin is also gonna celebrate her 18th bday on the 30th of april, afterwards they're going to PUERTO GALERA, which hindi pa rin ako nakkapunta. another :| for me. Then on May, there will be two weddings that i have to attend to and be a bridesmaid for both week after each. Then they will be going straight to baguio.:( OH MY! i hope i can still go to these events. i really hope so. But if all else fails, i told myself that even if i dont get to go there with them, ill find my way to going to those places again on my own terms!:)

To job? or not to job? that is the question! is that even the right term? haha:)) anyways, there goes my career updates for now. I really want to start working so ill experience it and of course the most important part of it, EARN MONEY! so i can go shopping! shopping! hahah lalalala!:p i hope i start na, so it'll be over na rin agad.:)

For my lovelife, February has been really tough. I've found out my moms feelings on me and my boyfriend. It was really hard taking it all in for we are happy as we are but then, of course, family is family so i just cant ignore that. It came to me that my parents would actually want to mingle more and see my boyfriend more often. But he's really shy and not that mingling type of person that our family has been used to. So i talked to him about it and he said that its noted. From then on, i saw his efforts naman of reaching out to my parents, especially my mom. Of course it wouldn't be that easy for they have their own differences but i know that little by little my mom would eventually get used to US, as long as we both( me and him) prove to them that we really can do it together.

For me, myself and i. I finally got a CAR! weee its my dad's actual GRAD GIFT for me, besides the 4th gen ipod touch!:) hooray! My dad's been planning this for a while now, but he just cant seem to find the will to buy me for i wasn't really interested on having my own car. Cause for me whatever his decision will be is fine by me. And this March 08 my dad brought home a second hand, 2009 TOYOTA YARIS! :) eventhough its just secondhand, it feels and smells like its brand new!! looove it!:) and these past few weeks, ive been trying to learn to drive. Practicing and trying to get used to it. paonte onte lang para pwede na! haha wee Im really excited to finally be able to drive sa highway, i tried na. pero its really kinda hard tlga..:p

Last March 5, me and babe together with my family went to MOA to watch Pyrolympics sadly me and babe wasn't able to watch for we were so stuck in traffic and busy looking for a parking space. So the next week we planned to go again for the last episode of the pyrolympics. But then Japan happened.:( sad for them. My mom got scared that she didnt want me to go but then eventually she said yes. Tita didn't reply to babe that's why he wasnt able to go. I was just me, my cousins and shei. There's something about fireworks that really gets me. I just love it! I reallly reall love fireworks. It feels magical at some point and the feeling where everything stops and making it just perfect. Here's a shot i took from my touch and its been my home screen for it since then.

hmm what else can i say! oohh!! Me and babe have been talking about our grad gifts to each other lately. He wants a zooyork shoes and im still deciding whether to get a bag or a hopefully red swatch watch or just a plain swatch watch! Babe's really been thinking of what kind of bag would he be giving me and last night it came to me how long have ive been watching a swatch watch specifically a red one. So there, the next time we go to the malls, we'll be canvasing our grad gift to each other!:) weee

Well that's all for now i guess. Thanks you, "you know who you are" for giving me a nudge to blog again. I really missed it! Thanks dear!:)

Got Hold Off.

Today i passed my requirements to Cebu Pacific. My requirements were complete but i got hold off because my medical results were still not delivered. I found out this morning from my fellow cabin crew applicants that you can see the medical resutls online. When i got home, i viewed my results. That's when i found out that my xray results showed that i have "MILD THORACIC DEXTROSCOLIOSIS". By the word scoliosis, i got scared, really scared for me, and for my application to Cebu Pacific. I researched online and found out that its a minor scoliosis problem wherein one shoulder is lower than the other. That's why i have those kind o f pictures and back pain! :( And now, i am worried that my application to Cebu Pacific would go down the drain because of this. Sad. I still have to wait though of my final medical appointment with the company doctor. I hope they let me through, somehow it grew in me that i really want to pursue this job. All i need to do now is wait.:|
